VI May, I became the "runner" for the K Company, 29th Infantry, as a messenger for my colonel. I stayed with him about a thousand yards behind the front lines and knew at all times where my company commander was. I transferred messages to him by radio or telephone. We once spent the night in a gravel pit, and then the next day moved into a field of ripened rip-ened wheat. On the afternoon of May 29, my colonel and another colonel were looking at a map. One said that the 34th Division was taking a town down a gravel road. "We shouldn't have any trouble with snipers," he added.

This week, Peterson continues to serve wounded. down that country road when bullets started coming down the road. We got down on our hands and knees, crawling, pushing our guns ahead of us. A lieutenant came toward me, walking but bent over. I asked him, "Lieutenant, where are they?" "In that damn stucco house out there." Sure enough, the Germans had a machine gun in a little red house and were firing down the road. We crawled down the road a hundred yards or so, then went off to the left and started to cross the wheat field. When we moved the wheat, the Germans would fire a machine gun burst in that direction. There was an understanding that if you heard a shell burst, you didn't worry about it. The one you didn't hear was the one that was going to get you. I heard a shell burst out in front of me, and then a shell fragment hit me on the col we are touched to be part of this project and hope to collect thousands of shoes of all sizes for those in need in Iraq," said Chris Heimerdinger, author of the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites series and spokesperson for the Passage to Zarahemla Shoe Drive.

Another Anoth-er inch higher, and it would have killed me. I rolled over in the wheat and yelled at the medic in front of me. He came back to me, scissors in hand: "Where are you hit?" I said, "Here." That is how I got my Purple Heart. He cut my shirt sleeve off, exposed the bruise, put a bandage ban-dage on me, and made a sling for my arm out of my shirt sleeve. He told me to wait till dark, and then go back on the road we had just come up on. But as I lay there all alone, waiting for it to get dark, bullets bul-lets whizzed over the wheat above me. I had never been so scared in all my life, afraid I would get torn up, with nobody no-body to help me. I called upon my Father in Heaven: "You know my predicament, and it's not one I chose. It's up to you to spare me. I will accept whatever your response will be." Finally I heard a vehicle in the distance, and it turned out to be an American Jeep, with a Red Cross flag flying from the bumper. After it got dark, I walked back to the gravel pit where we had spent the night before. Drive to honor and sizes, with the goal of sending thousands of shoes to Iraq.

I can carry water, wa-ter, rations, ammo." The medic ignored me. He got out a shipping tag with a string on it, wrote on it, tied it to a buttonhole on my shirt, swore at me, and said, "I know more about this business busi-ness than you do.
